Education Through 8th Grade
Education is not continued past the eight grade in the Amish community, as it is believed that the basic knowledge that is acquired up until then is enough. It is very rare for any Amish to go to high school, and still even more rare for any to attend college. Most Amish schools are schoolhouses consisting of one room with teachers from the community itself.
